Information Infrastructures within European Health Care
This book is open access under a CC BY-NC 2.5 license. The book aims to be a resource for those interested in planning and implementing large-scale information infrastructures for novel electronic services in health care. The focus of this book is on the pivotal role of the installed base (i.e. the already existing elements of an infrastructure) for ensuing infrastructural development. The book presents rich empirical cases on the design, development and implementation of core infrastructural components (e-prescription and public patient-oriented web platforms) in different national settings across Europe. Therefore, this is a book in which theoretical insights and practical experiences are ...
Future-Proofing
"Sustainability is crucial for the future of our societies. From a computing perspective, the challenge is to design IT artifacts that contribute to improving people's work and everyday life in a sustainable way, thereby also contributing to social and ecological sustainability. The book documents the experiences made by several leading research groups in Europe, North America and South Africa, describing their efforts to achieve sustainable design results, the difficulties that barred the way but also the strategies they adopted to achieve the goal of sustainability. The analysis of this rich empirical material helps thinking about how to more systematically address and possibly overcome th...
digitalSTS
New perspectives on digital scholarship that speak to today's computational realities Scholars across the humanities, social sciences, and information sciences are grappling with how best to study virtual environments, use computational tools in their research, and engage audiences with their results. Classic work in science and technology studies (STS) has played a central role in how these fields analyze digital technologies, but many of its key examples do not speak to today’s computational realities. This groundbreaking collection brings together a world-class group of contributors to refresh the canon for contemporary digital scholarship. In twenty-five pioneering and incisive essays,...
Organizational and Social Perspectives on Information Technology
The articles in this book constitute the proceedings papers from the IFIP WG 8.2 Working Conference, "IS2000: The Social and Organizational Perspective on Research and Practice in Information Technology," held June 1 0-12, 2000, in Aalborg, Denmark. The focus of the conference, and therefore this book, is on the basic aim of the working group, namely, the investigation of the interrelationships among four major components: information systems (IS), information technology (IT), organizations, and society. This basic social and organizational perspective on research and practice in information technology may have evolved substantially since the founding ofthe group, for example, increasing the...
Industrial Informatics Design, Use and Innovation: Perspectives and Services
"This book provides a sound grounding in what industrial informatics is and in what directions the field is moving, providing a broad state-of-the-art review and showing connections and gaps in knowledge for those who design and use information technologies in industrial settings"--Provided by publisher.
Open Standards and the Digital Age
This book answers how openness became the defining principle of the information age, examining the history of information networks.
Skillful Performance
The purpose of this book is to adopt a process lens to advance our understanding of how capabilities, knowledge, competence, and expertise are enacted in the skilful performance of individuals, groups, and organisations
Socio-informatics
This book is about how computer systems might be designed to serve their users rather better. It deals with how to study the natural behaviour of users to see how computer systems might best help them, and how one might also involve them in the design of computer systems that will assist them in their everyday practices.
